Here Thom tells the story of how he once had a narcissistic friend he was compelled to elude. Musically, "Just" is considered the most complex track on the Bends album, and it proves beyond a doubt that Jonny's guitar playing is original and superb.

Jamie Thraves, the producer had said "to tell you would deaden the impact, and would probably make you want to lie down in the road too".
